Ebay Nova project. (pics)

[craig green]

Here are a few pics of my latest buy. Bought for the daily commute to work & to replace my very much aged Astra GTE 16v.

I dont intend to modify the car too much, it does have potential in that the shell is far more solid than my Nova GSi. So I am toying with the idea of re-shelling perhaps.

The doors on this one are quite rotten & it must have had a minor frontal impact at some time as the drivers wing is from a 5 door model & the bumper shows minor scratching, however the boot floor & r/chassis legs are completely solid.
100k miles & 12 months MOT are not bad for ?296. So far proving to be perfectly reliable if you excuse having to change 2 front wheel bearings & one rear.

Plans are; Astra 256mm 16v spec front brakes, -60mm chassis lowering, SR seats, GTE leather steering wheel & anything to generally improve its condition eg electric sunroof conversion etc...

valid statement, it's not really that expensive to do with a bit of know how. you could with a home router and a donkey 5 year old machine running XAMPP have a server of your own for next to nowt.

And some ISPs like UKO block certain ports to prevent you running a webhost

*poke poke* Is this the badger?

[Jack]

it must have had a minor frontal impact at some time as the drivers wing is from a 5 door model & the bumper shows minor scratching
